    Rolly but Theo has more advantages physically

    Teo, let's be real. I don't like either one of them but Teo (despite his ups and downs) is most assuredly an elite fighter at his absolute best. Rolly really should be a journeyman. He hasn't even had 20 fights yet and he really truly should have 4 losses not 2. He should be 15-4. That is a damn journeyman.

    This should be a showcase fight for Teo

    I think the style matchup favors Teo. Rolly might give him fits though. Close fight. SD Lopez

    Teo is the better all around boxer. Rolly has telegraphic punches that Teo should be able to pick off when Rolly has his out bursts of winging punches. I can see Teo catching and putting Rolly on his trunks past mid way

    Honestly leaning Rolly. Lopez' power has become nonexistent, and he's relatively easy to hit and knock down. Rolly isn't the best fighter, but he is strong, and I reckon he can bully Teo. Teo also seems mentally fragile, and I wonder how bad the Sleeperson loss did on his psyche. Teo is the logical choice, but there are few variable at play.

    It would put a smile on my face if Rolly pulls this one off, but I don't see it. Most likely Teo outboxes him in a dour affair.

    A few days away and havent heard or seen much on social media or in articles.

    Should be a fun fight. Have a weird feeling Rolly might take this.

    Thoughts?

    Teo doesn't look like he enjoys boxing anymore
    Has the look of a fighter just paying his ex wife's bills

    Dont be surprised if Rolly pulls this off despite him being poor

    It seems absurd that this will be a PPV.

    Didnt even know they were fighting. These guys are middling fighters. Not even contenders, really. And its PPV?

    I wish them luck

    Not buying the PPV. if they had it in NY I might have went

    I think the fight is at least interesting on paper. Could be exciting and I don't think it will be a wipe out or domination

    Yes, but the styles play into Teo’s hands very significantly I’d be surprised if it went the other way

    This is going to be a solid fight. I don't get why there's no hype.

    It's pretty sad that this is the biggest fight in the last few weeks or so and I couldn't really give AF about it or who wins.
